Kin Mining NL (ASX:KIN) has received a vote of confidence from a leading resources investment enterprise following its $35 million financing which will effectively de-risk the Leonora Gold Project located in Western Australia.

A $35 million credit facility is being provided by Sprott Private Resource Lending, a division of Sprott Inc, an alternative asset manager and a global leader in precious metal and real asset investments.

The funding is as much an endorsement in Kin Mining’s management team led by Don Harper as it is in the project given that the asset was purchased in 2014 at the bottom of the gold cycle for $2.7 million.

Leonora forecast to be in production by second half 2018

Without a question mark now hanging over project funding there is a clear path to production and cash flow in 2018.

This development had an immediate positive share price impact with the company trading as high as $0.36 when the news broke around midday, up from the previous day’s close of $0.315.

There could be more catalysts to come though as the group plans to undertake a 100,000-metre exploration program in 2018.

Kin Mining NL (ASX:KIN) has updated its pre-feasibility study showing the wholly owned Leonora Gold Project located in Western Australia to be a high margin operation.

A low forecast required capital of $35 million underpins robust project economics, which sees an initial 6 year life-of-mine generating $105 million in operating cash flow.

A feasibility study is to be completed by mid-2017 with 17,000 metre drill program currently underway.

First gold production is targeted for mid-2018.

Don Harper, CEO, commented: “The study shows that the Leonora Project will enjoy low up-front costs which will in turn underpin a low-risk, high-margin operation with a short payback period of 18 months.”

Background

Kin is an emerging gold development company with a significant tenement portfolio in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

The Leonora gold project, which his 30 kilometres from the mining town of Leonora currently has a JORC resource of 721,000 ounces of gold.

The recently completed pre-feasibility study (PFS) envisages open pit mines at the Mertondale, Cardinia and Raeside deposits that will deliver material to a new, centrally located carbon-in-leach (CIL) gold treatment facility at Cardinia.

The 750,000 tonnes per annum conventional CIL processing plant is expected to expand to circa 1.2 million tonnes per annum in the third year of operation.

All open pits will be mined via conventional benching with a hydraulic excavator and dump trucks.

Updated PFS highlights

Highlights from the updated PFS include:

- Estimated pre-production capital cost of $35 million;
- Capital payback period of circa 18 months;
- $71 million net present value before corporate and tax;
- Initial mine life of 6.5 years with considerable exploration upside;
- Forecast life-of-mine (LOM) revenue of $494 million and operating cash-flow of $105 million;
- Forecast production of 43,000 ounces in year 1, ramping up to 52,000 ounces in year 3;
- An estimated 6.8 million tonnes at 1.5 g/t gold to be processed, delivering 309,000 ounces of recovered gold;
- Estimated operating cash cost (C1) of A$1,024 per ounce for LOM; and
- Estimated all in sustaining cost (AISC) of A$1,084 per ounce for LOM.

Analysis

The updated PFS clearly highlights the technical and economic strengths of the Leonora Gold Project making it the foundation on which to build a significant new Australian gold producer.

Leonora offers a low-risk, low capital pathway to gold production in the heart of one of Western Australia’s richest gold-mining districts.

The project will be economically viable based on its ability to rapidly pay back project pre-production capital and provide ongoing positive operational cash flows.

The proposed operation will enable Kin to generate early profits and accelerate production while at the same time seeking to grow mine life through an aggressive exploration program.

The focus will now move to the feasibility study due in mid-2017 from which a funding strategy will be based.

The 17,000 metre drilling program underway to convert Inferred resource into the Indicated category will ensure exploration based news flow over the short term.

Shares in Kin are trading up 120% year to date, currently priced at $0.225.

Kin Mining NL (ASX:KIN) has produced high grade drill results of up to 22.5 g/t gold from the Merton’s Reward deposit within the Leonora Gold Project in Western Australia.

Importantly, some of the drill results come from outside the planned open pit design.

The latest results will be included in the revised JORC estimate which will be calculated as part of the definitive feasibility study on Leonora, due in first half of 2017.

Leonora’s updated pre-feasibility study is on track for release this month.

Trevor Dixon, managing director, commented: “The results provided further strong evidence of the potential to grow the inventory and mine life at the Leonora Gold Project.

“We believe there is a lot more gold to be found at Mertondale and these results support our view.”

Drill result details

Latest results from drilling at Merton’s Reward within the Leonora Gold Project include:

Kin is an emerging gold development company with a significant tenement portfolio in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

The immediate focus of the company is completing an updated pre-feasibility study at its flagship Leonora gold project, which it is now being finalised.

The project currently has a JORC resource of 722,000 ounces of gold.

Kin recently poured its first gold in Kalgoorlie as part of the company’s trial mining program at the Lewis deposit within the Leonora Gold Project.

The Lewis trial mine and carbon-in- leach (CIL) test work produced 908 ounces of gold bullion, which exceeded expectations of ounces mined by 26%.

Analysis

The latest results from the Merton’s Reward come from a 940 metre drilling program which was designed to intersect shallow gold mineralisation amenable to open pit development.

Multiple wide zones of gold mineralisation were intersected close to surface, complementing the significant drill results returned from the June-July Merton’s Reward drill program.

The latest drilling not only intersected zones of mineralisation within the confines of the proposed pit, but also confirmed that the mineralised envelope extends beyond the current pit design.

Short term news is expected regarding the release of an updated pre-feasibility study focused on an operation producing at a rate of 45,000 to 50,000 ounces per annum gold.

Furthermore, with drilling still in progress and a second phase of 7,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling planned, Kin will remain leveraged to exploration upside over the coming months.

Shares are trading up over 125% year to day, currently priced at $0.225.

Kin Mining NL (ASX:KIN) has taken an important step towards becoming a gold producer by mining the first ore from the Lewis Open Pit at the Leonora Gold Project in Western Australia.

The Lewis trial mining operation is viewed as a low-cost open cut mining exercise that will test the high grade portion of the larger Cardinia supergene resource.

The trial mining operation will determine the economic viability of extraction and processing of the Bruno-Lewis Cardinia resource, which currently stands at 139,400 ounces of gold at 1.3 g/t.

Kin Mining will aim to obtain accurate specific gravity data from the operation that will be incorporated into the resource model and determine the metallurgical recovery rate of the Cardinia ore.

The company has also started negotiations for toll treatment of the Lewis ore at the Lakewood Gold Processing Facility owned by Golden Mile Milling Pty Ltd.

The acquisition of the Leonora Gold Project, with a total resource of 722,300 ounces of gold, has provided Kin Mining with a head start against peers.

The most prospective area within Leonora is the Mertondale deposit, containing 395,000 ounces of gold.

The recent progress for Kin comes at an opportune moment as the gold price in Australian dollars continues to be ebullient.

Kin Mining NL (ASX:KIN) will start drilling for gold in early May at the Merton’s Reward in the Leonora project, Western Australia, where reverse circulation drilling in November 2015 intersected 5 metres at 7.99 g/t gold from 59 metres depth.

The Merton’s Reward lodes were mined extensively in the early 1900s with total production of 90,000 tonnes at 21 g/t gold for 60,524 ounces, making it one of the highest grade deposits in the Eastern Goldfields.

The T2 target at the Merton’s Reward is the extension of the interpreted shallow north plunging ore shoot that was the one of the main ore feeds during early production.

The recent drilling at the T2 target defined a down plunge extension to the Merton’s Reward ore shoot and intersected a broad zone of mineralisation of 29 metres at 1.34 g/t gold from 155 metres depth.

The newly defined broad zone of mineralisation occurs below the current Merton’s Reward Resource (1.08 million tonnes at 2.6 g/t gold for 91,000 ounces) and is open along strike and down plunge.

This result is considered highly encouraging because it demonstrates that the Merton’s Reward ore body is persistent at depths below the historic underground workings.

The upcoming 3500 metres drill program is designed to intersect the down plunge extension of the Merton’s Reward ore zone as well as the poorly tested lower lode extension of the T1 target.

Kin Mining (ASX:KIN) has quickly followed up high-grade gold drilling at the Mertondale prospect on its Leonora project in Western Australia with two additional targets delivering significant intersections and expanding development options at the site.

The latest results from the prospect's maiden drilling campaign have included a wide intersection of 29 metres at 1.34g/t gold from 155 metres, including 10 metres at 1.73g/t gold and 7 metres at 1.83g/t gold.

This area is considered an extension of the interpreted shallow north-plunging ore shoot that was the main ore feed during production of the historic Merton’s Reward mine in the early 1900s, where output totalled 90,000 tonnes at 21 g/t gold for 60,524 ounces of gold, making it one of the highest grade deposits in WA’s Eastern Goldfields.

Kin’s newly defined broad zone of mineralisation in this area occurs below the current Merton’s Reward resource of 1.08 million tonnes at 2.6 g/t gold for 91,000 ounces and is open along strike and down plunge.

The broad nature of the mineralisation also suggests that the Merton’s Reward ore shoot may widen at depth.

Parallel drilling at another Mertondale target returned 5 metres at 5.47g/t gold, including a high-grade 2-metre intercept at 11.95g/t gold from 208 metres and 6 metres at 1.91g/t gold from 195 metres.

This target lies adjacent to the southern end of the Mertondale 3 pit underneath the existing 2012 resource of 1.53 million tonnes at 2.2g/t gold for 110,000 ounces. The mineralisation appears to kink around at this point and is strongest in an area interpreted to host a northeast trending fault.

Kin will incorporate the recent drill data into a refined geological model at the project with the intention of pursuing future drill programs aimed at a resource increase.

Leonora momentum

The latest drilling success follows immediately on the delivery of grades up to 24.7 g/t gold in the area adjacent to an historic Mertondale intersection of 9 metres at 3.65 g/t gold from 61 metres.

This exploration success has built on a recent show of investor support for the project in the form of a A$1.2 million capital raising from the shortfall of a share purchase plan launched earlier this year.

Funds will be used in part to advance Leonora.

Kin has realised positive trial mining progress and a mining approval at Leonora with optimisation and mine scheduling having been revised.

The new mine design generates a more economically robust mining schedule incorporating more than 30% less waste.

The operation is seen as a low cost entry to gold production via vat leaching.

Analysis

To record consistent, high-grade gold readings in all the targeted areas of the important Mertondale prospect is an encouraging sign for Leonora, which seems primed for a resource revision which could add significantly to the value of Kin.

The new results at Merton’s Reward, in particular, are highly encouraging because they demonstrates that the ore body is persistent at depths below the historic underground workings where drilling is very limited.

Meanwhile, drilling at the southern end of Leonora’s Mertondale 3 pit is also beginning to demonstrate a contiguous zone of high-grade mineralisation that may lend itself to an underground development.

The latest intersections again sit outside the current resource and will be followed up with future exploration.

Further drilling is planned early next year to define the extent of the open mineralisation, setting up strong newsflow for Kin which could translate into price catalysts.

Kin Mining (ASX:KIN) has recorded grades up to 24.7 g/t gold in new drilling at its Leonora project in Western Australia where deeper exploration has indicated that a broad zone of gold mineralisation persists at depths below historic underground workings.

A new hole adjacent to an historic intersection of 9 metres at 3.65 g/t gold from 61 metres returned another 5 metres at 7.99 g/t gold from 59 metres, including a higher grade interval of 1 metre at 24.7 g/t gold.

This area, known as the Merton's Reward target, is part of the project's Mertondale prospect, where an historic underground mine averaged grades of more than 20 g/t gold.

The latest drilling result at Merton's Reward confirms the target's ore shoot extends further east than previously modelled.

This ore extension requires further drilling along strike to establish the length and geometry of the ore shoot, which is anticipated to be incorporated into a revised resource model.

Four new deep reverse circulation holes have now been completed in the area and have indicated that the historically mined shear zone is persistent further north than previously modelled.

Assays are pending and are expected in the coming week.

Recent progress

Exploration traction at Leonora has built on a recent show of investor support for the project in the form of a A$1.2 million capital raising from the shortfall of a share purchase plan launched earlier this year.

Funds will be used for drilling at the company's Gwalia South prospect and to advance Leonora.

Gwalia South hosts four high-priority gold targets immediately south of the Sons of Gwalia 7-million-ounce gold mine.

Gwalia South comprises tenements that are blanketed by areas of widespread soil cover including Lake Raeside. The holdings have been insufficiently tested by previous mine explorers.

Also, Kin has realised positive trial mining progress and a mining approval at Leonora with optimisation and mine scheduling having been revised.

The new mine design generates a more economically robust mining schedule incorporating more than 30% less waste.

The operation is seen as a low cost entry to gold production via vat leaching.

Analysis

Kin’s intersection of 5 metres of almost 8 g/t gold at a vertical depth of 50 metres is extremely encouraging, especially considering the historic reputation of Merton’s Reward for hosting high-grade gold operations.

Merton’s Reward was mined extensively in the early 1900s with total production of 90,000 tonnes at 21 g/t gold for 60,524 ounces, making it one of the highest-grade deposits in WA’s Eastern Goldfields.

The fact that mineralisation has been demonstrated to persist at depths below the historic underground working and further north than previously expected is an interesting development that bodes well for more advanced exploration in the area.

Also, the mineralisation is correlating with predicted target zones and confirms Kin’s new geological model will be useful for targeting future drill campaigns.

Potential price catalysts for Kin stock are represented by upcoming assay results for two other target areas at Merton’s Reward, a revised resource model and the prospect that more informed drilling next year will further prove up Leonora’s inherent value.

Kin Mining (ASX:KIN) has raised $1,170,000 from the shortfall of the share purchase plan which was priced at $0.10, and included 1 option for every 2 shares exercisable at $0.20 by 31 August 2017.

Kin shares have recently been trading at a premium to the issue price, reaching as high as $0.16 earlier in the month.

The company is working to place a remaining 6.4 million shares, which could potentially provide an additional cash boost.

Funds will be used for drilling at its Gwalia South Prospect and to advance the Leonora Gold Project.

Leonora hosts the Cardinia, Mertondale and Raeside Gold deposits, which are located in the Mt Margaret Mineral Field in the centre of the Eastern Goldfields in Western Australia.

Gwalia South near 7Moz mine

Kin will drill four high-priority gold targets immediately south of the Sons of Gwalia 7-million-ounce mine.

The 5,000-metre program at the company’s Gwalia South project will explore structural faults intersecting Gwalia mine sequence lithologies only 2.5 to 5.5 kilometres south of the giant operation.

Gwalia South comprises tenements that are blanketed by areas of widespread soil cover including Lake Raeside. The holdings have been insufficiently tested by previous mine explorers.

Exploration success by Kin at Gwalia South could open up all sorts of options, from ore / milling / tolling agreements, attracting farm-in partners or even the potential to consider development by the company.

Kin said that a recent field visit at Gwalia South confirmed outcrop of a 400 metre strike length of the prospective Gwalia mine sequence.

Rock chip analysis indicated the Gwalia slate within the sequence is anomalous in gold.

Assays pending from Mertondale

At Mertondale, the recently completed drill program consisted of four deep reverse circulation holes at three target areas T1, T2 and T3 for a total of 840 metres.

Samples have been delivered to the Perth SGS laboratory, and assay results are anticipated to be received within the following weeks.

The T2 Target at Merton’s Reward was mined extensively in the early 1900’s with total production of 90,000 tonnes 21g/t gold for 60,524 gold ounces.

This makes it one of the highest grade deposits in the Eastern Goldfields, and a highly prospective area for Kin.

Kin Mining (ASX:KIN) has marked significant progress in its ultimate business goal of becoming a gold producer with trial mining and gold development activities across its Western Australian portfolio.

The strongest progress in recent weeks has included positive trial mining progress at the Leonora project plus gold exploration milestones at the Desdemona project’s Gwalia South prospect and the Mt Flora project.

This traction has been reflected by a 39% increase in the value of Kin stock since the beginning of the month to A$0.125 per share.

It has also been supported by a $844,200 fundraising in a tough capital market as well as the award of a mining approval at Leonora from the Mines Department that puts the company on track to start open-cut mining after all extraction and processing alternatives have been considered .

Kin has also received a commitment from mining contractor Advanced Mining & Civil to invest $500,000 via a staged share placement as part of a mining services memorandum of understanding.

Trial mining progress

Progress on Leonora’s Lewis Trial Mine at the Bruno-Lewis deposit continues on schedule, with optimisation and mine scheduling having been revised.

The new mine design generates a more economically robust mining schedule incorporating >30% less waste.

The operation is seen as a low cost entry to gold production via vat leaching.

Site works have commenced, with the refurbishment of the haul road within the Cardinia area. Procurement of key infrastructure is under way and a mining engineer and mine geologist have been appointed to manage the Lewis trial mining operation.

Gwalia South Targets

Kin has also made significant exploration progress at the Gwalia South area of its Desdemona tenure.

The prospective lithologies south of the Sons of Gwalia mine are traceable into the northern end of Kin’s Gwalia South tenements. Gwalia South displays the same continuous greenstone sequence cut by a number of structural faults similar to that at the Sons of Gwalia and the Tower Hill gold mines. There has not been a significant gold discovery along this southern section of the prospective Gwalia Shear Zone.

This is believed to be due to lack of outcrop and ineffective previous exploration techniques.

Mt Flora

At the company’s Mt Flora property, five gold anomalous zones (+5ppb gold) have been identified following a regional geochemical auger soil sampling program.

Trial mining at Leonora is an important stepping stone for Kin as an emerging gold producer because it will answer fundamental questions about the properties and characteristics of the supergene ore that we will be able to incorporate into the project’s larger Cardinia resource.

Upcoming operations at Lewis are expected to refine vat leach recovery rates of the supergene ore, all-in sustaining costs of a vat leach operation and detailed specific gravity determinations that can be applied to Cardinia.

This work could represent another price catalyst for the company as it continues to realise its production plans at Leonora and build confidence through exploration on the Gwalia South and Mt Flora assets.

Total Leonora resources have been estimated at 11.8 million tonnes at 1.9g/t gold for 722,300 ounces of gold.

Kin Mining (ASX:KIN) is set to drill four high-priority gold targets next month immediately south of the Sons of Gwalia 7-million-ounce mine in Western Australia.

The 5,000-metre program at the company’s Gwalia South project will explore structural faults intersection Gwalia mine sequence lithologies only 2.5 to 5.5 kilometres south of the giant operation.

A program of work has been submitted to the WA Department of Mines. The application includes reverse circulation and diamond drill proposals. The tenements are within 10 kilometres of Leonora, they contain numerous cleared grid lines and internal access is excellent.

The primary targets are the intersection of the Gwalia mine sequence and interpreted faults and the ductile deformation zones along these faults, positioned west of the Mt George Shear.

The secondary target type is Tower Hill-style mineralisation positioned along the Raeside Granitoid/ ultramafic contact that marks the edge of the greenstone belt. The sequence denotes the preferred host rocks for localised gold mineralisation and the oldest sheared greenstones in the district.

Gwalia South comprises tenements that are blanketed by areas of widespread soil cover including Lake Raeside. The holdings have been insufficiently tested by previous mine explorers.

Previous drilling in the Gwalia South area was predominantly sparse vertical aircore drilled to blade refusal (10-80 metres depth), generally on 400-metre line spacings.

Drilling to date confirms that the Gwalia mine sequence continues south through Kin’s tenure.

Several historical workings are present along the Gwalia Slate which highlights that gold mineralisation continues south through Kin’s tenure. There has been no significant gold mine discovered along this section of the prospective corridor and Kin believe this is due to lack of outcrop and ineffective previous exploration techniques.

Trial mining

The Gwalia South targeting progress follows quickly on the streamlining of a trial mining plan at the Leonora gold project.

The design of the Lewis trial mining operation on the project’s Bruno-Lewis supergene resource (120,000 ounces of gold) has been refined with a more than 30% reduction in waste, generating a more economically robust mining schedule.

Preliminary site works commenced with the refurbishment of the Cardinia Haul Road have also been completed.

The optimised pit design is viewed as encouraging and has been tailored to lower processing cost afforded by vat leach processing. Revised costs enable a lower cut-off grade to be applied to the ore zone, resulting in more available ore tonnes to be accessed within a smaller pit design.

The trial mine is projected to be a cash positive exercise that will give a greater understanding of the economic viability of the supergene ore within at Leonora’s larger Cardinia resource.

Total Leonora resources have been estimated at 11.8 million tonnes at 1.9g/t gold for 722,300 ounces of gold.

Analysis

The targets defined at Gwalia South represent and intriguing exploration play given their proximity to the massive Sons of Gwalia mine and the geological indicators suggesting a continuous thread of mineralisation between the projects.

The structures being targeted under the upcoming Gwalia South campaign are also credible as they demonstrate the granite-ultramafic contract associated with Tower Hill.

Newsflow related to the upcoming drilling is likely to provide further price catalysts to Kin shares, which have gained 44% since the beginning of the month and are currently trading at A$0.13.

Exploration success by Kin at Gwalia South could open up all sorts of options, from ore / milling / tolling agreements, attracting farm-in partners or even the potential to consider development by the company.

The Lewis trial mine is an important step in Kin’s transition into a gold producer, and these latest practical developments demonstrate the viability of this emerging business model at Leonora.

The trial mine is expected to better inform the company about the particulars of the supergene ore, enabling it to be incorporated into the larger Cardinia resource.

The potential for high-grade starter pits should help secure project finance and reduce payback period. Strong results from metallurgical test work, include recoveries of over 95%.

Kin Mining (ASX:KIN) has tightened the plan for a trial mine at its Leonora gold project in Western Australia, setting up a low-cost starter operation that will increase confidence in an important resource area.

The design of the Lewis trial mining operation on the project’s Bruno-Lewis supergene resource (120,000 ounces of gold) has been refined with a more than 30% reduction in waste, generating a more economically robust mining schedule.

Upcoming operations at Lewis are expected to refine vat leach recovery rates of the supergene ore, all-in sustaining costs of a vat leach operation and detailed specific gravity determinations that can be applied to Cardinia.

It will also provide reconciliation of the Bruno-Lewis resource.

Total Leonora resources have been estimated at 11.8 million tonnes at 1.9g/t gold for 722,300 ounces of gold.

The mining proposal has been approved by the government which has enabled the project to move forward within estimated time frames.

Site works have begun, with the completion the of the haul road within the Cardinia area. Procurement of key infrastructure is under way and a mining engineer and mine geologist have been appointed to manage the project.

It is expected that the supergene ore at the Cardinia Resource to be a low cost operation due to the bulk of the resource being contained between 20-50m below surface. The ore is a free-dig clay that will eliminate drill and blast costs and potentially the need for crushing.

Primed at Leonora

Kin gained extensive historical exploration and mining data with the acquisition of Leonora from the administrator of Navigator Resources in 2014. Historical production was over 316,000 ounces of gold at a high average head grade of 4.92g/t gold. Historical mining was sporadic and limited – there is potential to significantly expand the resource base.

A Pre-feasibility Study completed by Navigator did demonstrate robust project with considerable upside/

With over 70% of the 722,000 ounce total resource classified as Indicated at an acquisition cost of circa $2.60/ounce, the acquisition of Leonora is a game changer.

The acquisition provided an effective low risk pathway to production with the near-term production opportunity at Cardinia - Lewis and a BFS commencing 2016.

Analysis

The Lewis trial mine is an important step in Kin’s transition into a gold producer, and these latest practical developments demonstrate the viability of this emerging business model at Leonora.

The trial mine is expected to better inform the company about the particulars of the supergene ore, enabling it to be incorporated into the larger Cardinia resource.

The potential for high-grade starter pits should help secure project finance and reduce payback period. Strong results from metallurgical test work, include recoveries of over 95%.

Kin is on a fast track to production in a prolific gold mining region, having advanced to its status as an emerging gold producer in less than two years.

With a very tightly held share register (the top 20 hold 60%), Kin is attuned to exploration success; the directors hold 27% of issued capital and are clearly aligned with success of the company.

Not to be forgotten, chairman of Kin is the well versed Terry Grammer, awarded joint ‘Prospector of the Year’ in 2000 for the Jubilee Mines Cosmos Nickel Deposit discovery.

Kin has strong upcoming news flow as the technical team scrutinize the Leonora gold project database, with numerous exploration opportunities within a broader project portfolio. It is also highly leveraged for growth through acquisition and exploration success – all at a market cap. of just $6 million (at $0.10).

Kin Mining NL (ASX:KIN) has some high quality exploration targets at its Gwalia South Prospect, which sits just 2.5 kilometres south of St Barbara's (ASX:SBM) seven million gold ounce Sons of Gwalia mine.

St Barbara produced 72,388 gold ounces from Gwalia mine in the September quarter 2015.

Further to the north-west, the same greenstone package also encompasses the granite-ultramafic lithologies that hosts the Tower Hill (1Moz), Harbour Lights (1Moz), Jasper Flats (165koz), Kailis (50koz) and King of the Hills mines (1.8Moz).

Kin said that a new structural analysis reveals north-west trending thrust faults have a controlling effect on large scale gold mineralisation along the Gwalia Shear Zone.

Adding to the prospectivity, the Gwalia mine sequence continues south through Kin’s Desdemona tenure and this gold bearing corridor presents as a highly prospective target zone.

Trevor Dixon, Kin Mining's managing director, commented:

“We are very pleased with the progress at the Gwalia South Prospect.

"The geological team have been busy getting all the data together which has led to the latest developments.

"Originally we thought this area would have been well explored due to its close proximity to the world class Sons of Gwalia mine.

"However the drill data reveals many areas are ineffectively drill tested and the possibility of finding another large scale gold deposit along the Gwalia Shear Zone remains."

Exploration target

Kin has identified at least two north-west striking faults within the Gwalia South prospect area and believe that these structures have been poorly tested by previous exploration.

The new exploration model will focus on the prospective north-west striking faults that are believed to be the controlling structures for large scale gold mineralisation within the Gwalia Shear Zone.

Drilling

Kin said collation and interrogation of newly acquired datasets has confirmed the highly prospective nature of the Gwalia South Prospect.

Deeper angled reverse circulation drilling is planned to effectively test this underexplored structural corridor over a strike length of more than 4 kilometres.

The recently secured tenure has been held for the last 30 years by the previous mine owners and may have been somewhat overlooked due to large scale mining being their primary focus.

The addition of Gwalia South now expands Kin’s overall land holding along the prolific gold bearing Gwalia Shear Zone to 26 kilometres of strike length which Kin plans to systematically explore.

Analysis

That Kin’s ground is only 2.5 kilometres away from Sons of Gwalia mine has always been acknowledged.

But the fact that Gwalia South also comprises the same geological sequence and structural regime makes this area a compelling drill target.

Gwalia South has now been elevated to one of Kin’s priority gold targets.

Exploration success by Kin at Gwalia South could open up all sorts of options, from ore / milling / tolling agreements, attracting farm-in partners or even the potential to consider development by the company.

While only early days for Kin at Gwalia South, the location itself will garner a second look from gold focussed investors.

Kin Mining (ASX:KIN) has revealed a high priority magmatic nickel-copper-PGE target at its Desdemona Project area, just south of Leonora in Western Australia.

The target was defined during ongoing prospect research and geochemical evaluation within Kin’s regional tenement portfolio in the Leonora district.

Basal contact has been identified over 1.4 kilometres of strike and remains untested at depth.

The company identified an extensive zone of strong secondary nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE surface enrichment at Kingfisher correlating with historic ore grade nickel and copper sulphide intersections and associated platinum and palladium.

A geophysical survey is slated to commence next month at the Kingfisher Prospect to test for possible conductors beneath historical drill intercepts of up to 2% nickel and 4.8% copper.

Kingfisher is prospective for magmatic nickel-copper mineralisation similar to Sirius Resources' (ASX:SIR) Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper sulphide deposit in the Fraser Range.

Earlier this month, Kin raised $3 million at $0.15 per share which should enable it to finalise the acquisition of the Leonora Gold Project.

Kin Mining (ASX: KIN) should trade firmer after executing a binding term sheet to acquire the Leonora gold project in Western Australia from Navigator Resources (ASX: NAV), which is in administration.

Leonora hosts a gold resource of 745,000 ounces, and exploration upside, from which Kin intends to develop an economic mining operation.

The resources is comprised of 8.16 million tonnes Indicated at 2g/t gold for 533,000 ounces, and 4.13 million tonnes Inferred at 1.6g/t gold for 212,000 ounces.

The purchase price is $2.7 million in cash, with a $200,000 deposit after satisfaction of due diligence, with the transaction scheduled for completion by the 30th of June.

This is conditional upon a company deed of arrangement for Navigator, the raising of $5 million by Kin, and Kin shareholder approval.

The Murrin Murrin prospect was also tested via re-entry and extension of a hole drilled late last year which ended in 1 metre at 36 grams per tonne gold from 87 metres.

The extended hole assayed 32.45 g/t gold from 88 to 89 metres, within 5 metres at 17.2 grams per tonne to 92 metres.

Notably, Kin is chaired by Terry Grammer, with a career spanning more than 35 years in Australia, Africa, Asia and New Zealand.

Grammer acted as non-executive director of Sirius Resources (ASX:SIR) during the Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper discoveries, and was co-founder of the $800 million nickel miner Western Areas (ASX:WSA).

Other accolades include being a joint winner of the AMEC Prospector of the Year Award in 2000 for his role in the discovery of the Cosmos nickel deposit, which underpinned the development of Jubilee Mines and led to its takeover by Xstrata.

Kin Mining (ASX: KIN) is preparing to outline a material acquisition, with the Australian Stock Exchange granting the company a trading halt.

KIN's shares are currently in pre-open.

The halt will remain in place until the opening of trade on Tuesday 8th April 2014, or earlier if an announcement is made to the market.

A peak assay at Gabbro of 2 metres at 34.23 grams per tonne gold was returned, contained within a broader hit of 31 metres at 4.29 grams per tonne.

The Murrin Murrin prospect was also tested via re-entry and extension of a hole drilled late last year which ended in 1 metre at 36 grams per tonne gold from 87 metres.

The extended hole assayed 32.45 g/t gold from 88 to 89 metres, within 5 metres at 17.2 grams per tonne to 92 metres.

With grades like these, more drilling is certainly warranted.

Capitalised at around $10 million, there is plenty of room for growth with further gold discoveries.

Kin Mining (ASX:KIN) has started a second round of reverse circulation drilling at Leonora projects in Western Australia focusing on targets within the Iron King Group gold projects.

Past drilling results both by Kin and others have demonstrated the potential.

The Iron King Group comprises eight PLs around the historic Iron King and Victory Mining Centres located 45 kilo metres NNW of Leonora and approximately 14 kilometres north-west of St Barbara Ltd’s (SBL) “King of the Hills” gold mine.

Historic high grades

The first drill hole has already been completed at Blue Spec. Interestingly, that target had recorded historic gold grades of 56.6 grams per tonne gold.

The historic drill hole also intersected 2 metres of quartz veining between 41 and 43 metres down hole.

The rig has now moved to the Crystal Ridge Prospect where previous drilling gave a best intersection of 46 metres at 1.83 g/t gold.

The third target will be Reeds United where rock chip samples have returned assays in the range of 10g/t to 33g/t.

Kin plans to move the rig to Murrin Murrin after drilling at Iron King where earlier drilling by Kin at Murrin Murrin returned best intersections of 25 metres at 3.16 g/t gold from 63 metres.

The company has also applied for additional prospecting licence at the Iron King Group project.

So there is some form at these prospects and with some assays likely to be received 2-3 weeks after the completion of the drilling programme, this will generate interest given Kin's current market cap. of $10 million.

A total of 69 rock chip samples were collected across all prospects, 11 of which returned gold grades over 2 grams per tonne, with three in excess of 10 grams per tonne.

Gold assays at Iron King valued up to 25.73 grams per tonne and 14.97 grams per tonne from a nearby shallow prospecting pit.

Geological mapping and geochemical sampling is scheduled to define the source of the mineralisation with a view to drill testing.

Recently completed drilling at the Murrin Murrin prospect identified primary and supergene gold mineralisation, with broad, near surface, high grade intercepts up to 6.8 grams per tonne.

Proactive Investors Australia is the market leader in producing news, articles and research reports on ASX “Small and Mid-cap” stocks with distribution in Australia, UK, North America and Hong Kong / China.

An initial 17 hole reverse circulation drilling program was completed for 1,305 metres

Significant intercepts included 24 metres at 2.26 grams per tonne from 64 metres, with 4 metres at 6.8 grams per tonne from 84 metres to end of hole; and 32 metres at 1.29 grams per tonne from 4 metres, with 8 metres at 3.75 grams per tonne from 12 metres.

Notably, the most significant primary gold intersection positioned beneath weathered clay regolith in an area of no outcrop, and remains open at depth.

Follow up drilling is planned to determine the parameters of the end of hole intersection.

Kin controls six exploration project areas in the Leonora District of Western Australia, all with recognised potential for hosting economic deposits of gold, nickel, and other base metals.

Kin Mining's (ASX: KIN) shares have traded higher in its first few months of being a publically listed company, which is an achievement in itself following the difficult capital markets and a falling gold price.

The company's shares last traded at $0.32, which is more than 50% higher than its IPO price of $0.20. Kin Mining hit the ASX boards on 2 October 2013.

Kin has recently started reverse circulation drilling to define an initial gold resource within the Eastern Gabbro Prospect of its Murrin Murrin project east of Leonora in Western Australia.

The 17 hole program totalling 1,210 metres is designed to investigate historic drilling results that intersected up to 9 metres grading 3.9 grams per tonnes gold.

This will be followed by a 48 hole drill program totalling 2,880 metres on six lines at the Anzac Prospect within the Desdemona project.

Notably, the prospect sits directly on the Gwalia Shear Zone which hosts the 7 million ounce Sons of Gwalia gold deposit 23.6 kilometres to the North.

This targets an area that has produced historic anomalous rock chip assays of up to 1.75 g/t gold, 4.3 g/t silver and 1160 ppm arsenic.

Kin Mining (ASX: KIN) has started reverse circulation drilling to define an initial gold resource within the Eastern Gabbro Prospect of its Murrin Murrin project east of Leonora, Western Australia.

The 17 hole program totalling 1,210 metres is designed to investigate historic drilling results that intersected up to 9 metres grading 3.9 grams per tonnes gold.

It should be completed in seven days with assays expected two to three weeks after.

This will be followed by a 48 hole drill program totalling 2,880 metres on six lines at the Anzac Prospect within the Desdemona project.

Notably, the prospect sits directly on the Gwalia Shear Zone which hosts the 7 million ounce Sons of Gwalia gold deposit 23.6 kilometres to the North.

This targets an area that has produced historic anomalous rock chip assays of up to 1.75 g/t gold, 4.3 g/t silver and 1160 ppm arsenic.

It is also designed to test a strong IP anomaly defined by previous explorers which is interpreted to represent sulphide-rich conductive rocks.

Kin is also applying for the previously excised lease P39/5149 Prospecting Licence 39/5463 at its Mt Flora project area.

This hosts numerous historic gold workings and also has potential for lateritic nickel/cobalt.

In addition, a recent field investigation of a gold working in the southeast corner was found to have galena-rich quartz in the old mullock dumps.

This is associated with gold-rich quartz in many of the world’s largest gold mines.
